The uninterrupted sea views towards St David's Championship Links Golf Course and Snowdonia mountains will knock your socks off.

The location is spot on. You're less than a mile from shops and pubs and just a short walk to the beach. Fancy a round of golf? The championship course is right there. Want mountains? They're staring you in the face. The multi-level garden gives you different spots to enjoy those jaw-dropping views – perfect for that morning coffee before the kids wake up and start demanding things.

Inside you'll find four bedrooms that sleep 8 people total – two super-king-size (one with zip/link beds), one twin and one double. Two en-suites plus a Jack-and-Jill bathroom mean no queuing for the loo. The kitchen's packed with gadgets including an American-style fridge/freezer with ice machine (hello cocktails!), wine chiller and even a Quooker tap.

Aelfor Reviews

Andrew And Friends
Thank you for an amazing week, fabulous house wonderful views. We did a few walks 2 from Llanbedr which included eating at the Victoria Inn, which we would recommend. We did another walk along the river and and through the valley at Talybont. We used the buses to get around and didnt use our cars all week. We will be back.
Murphy
Thanks for a lovely stay. Property is fantastic in a great location. We cant wait to come back in July
Claire
Wow! What a beautiful house decorated to a really high spec and the views are simply amazing. Everything we needed in the house and more. Cant fault the property it was spotless and very comfortable and plenty spacious enough for 2 families. Views, patio and hot tub areas all brilliant. Very quiet area with lots of walks around. Its not far from Barmouth which was lovely. The drive is very, very steep so a confident driver is a must and a decent car, ideally 4 wheel drive. Views and house are stunning once up there so worth it but just something to be aware of. Light around the hot tub would also be a great addition.
Claire Simon Christine And The Kids
Absolutely loved our stay at Aelfor, the house is beautiful with wonderful views, absolutely perfect. We visited a few local villages and thankfully the weather was kindish. Thank you so much for the welcome pack and prosecco, a welcome treat to have in the hot tub. Thank you again, Claire Simon Christine
